Execution Failed for task ':app:processDebugResources'

Question

I am getting this error from build-tools\23.0.2\ (Aapt.exe)

finished with non zero exit value 1.

I am using Android Studio Version 1.4.1

I am using the API level 23 with the updated build tools, and my log cat is often meaning out the string.xml where I created my strings to refer it for the list view.

Problem is in your string.xml

find all occurrences of single-quote (') or apostrophe and add a back-slash escape character (\) before each occurrence.

XML cannot deal with (')

Basically, replace all ' with \'

Compare your gradle file I hope this work

 apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion '23.0.2'

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "info.tranetech.laundry"
        minSdkVersion 15
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}
android {
    useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy'
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:+'
    compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:+'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.1'
    compile 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:+'
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.0.0'
    compile files('libs/android-async-http-1.4.4.jar')
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0'
